App testing without monetization

App Marketplace

I asked a question before, for some reason I can’t even link to the previous question because of limitations to this forum platform.
And for some reason I now cannot reply to the answer I got, that previous thread is locked for some reason.

So allow me to please re-ask the question, because the answer I received was not relevant to my question.

I need to create a tool that will allow users to sign in with their zoom account, the tool will use the zoom API to create a zoom meeting link for the user. In order to do that, I created a “general app”. It’s currently marked as “development” and not “production”. I’m fine with that. I want to now add testers to test the app. I thought I need to do that in Local Test → “Assign test user licenses”, an option which forces me to define monetization plans, which I do not want to do (and in there, even defining a free monetization plan seems to require a stripe connect (“Please set up your payment account with Stripe inmarketplace.zoom.us in order to continue creating pricing plans”) This entire process is very complicated, I just want to add several users so they’ll be able to test the integration before I go through with switching it to production. If there’s a different way to add testers to the development build then please let me know.

Otherwise,

Hi @cinteladmin It looks like there’s some confusion around how to add test users, so I want to clarify that clicking on the " Assign test user licenses" is not the correct method.

To add test users, you’ll want to do this through your development environment:

  1. Go to the Development tab of your app.
  2. Click on Local Test.
  3. From there, select Add App — this is how you (or your testers) can authorize the app for testing.

You can also invite collaborators to your app, and they can follow the same process to test it.

If you’re testing in the production environment, the process is similar. However, for external users, you’ll want to request a Beta URL (also called a Shareable URL). This allows up to 10 users to install and test your app before it’s published.

If your test user is a Zoom reviewer, all they need is credentials to access your platform — whether that’s a website, app, or other interface. There’s no need to configure anything within Zoom itself for them; the setup should happen on your end.

I’ve also recorded a quick video to help make everything more visual and easier to follow — I hope it helps! Clips
